PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Where I'm a bit confused is how anything that was already adjudicated in our favor at CAS, which is the highest court in Europe regarding matters of sport, can be presented again. How is this not considered double jeopardy or does that not exist in the UK? If that's the case I apologize in advance for not knowing this...
CAS were arbritating over Uefas charges against us and possible champions league ban, this hearing is for the Premier leagues accusations.
 
Let me just get this straight, The Premier League are calling Khaldoon al Mubarak and Sheikh Mansour and the Abu Dhabi Royal family Cheats, If I am wrong then, please explain what else is it saying, We are talking about one hell of a claim and maybe it's bigger than World Football and Manchester City football club,

This brings into account a Royal Family with connections to many other Royal Families with a status and reputation they hold very highly,

The Premier League is finished and all the other clubs calling our owners cheats under its umbrella should be scared,
I believe Khaldoon al Mubarak and Sheikh Mansour and the Abu Dhabi Royal family will not take this lightly and will demand the UK government and the Royal Family get this sorted once and for all,

As I said it is bigger than just football and the Premier League, Many other things will be taken into account and we are talking about major investments in all sorts of other things outside of football.
 
As it happens a) I don't think that will work b) won't be our defence. I suspect they will say they did disclose and cooperate fully and hope that they if they have won on the substantive charges, the Panel will be onside. If they have lost on the substantive, it will be largely irrelevant (albeit an aggravating factor potentially)
No idea what would or wouldn't be our defence, but worth noting we are not charged with non-cooperation for the years investigated. We are charged for the years not investigated. We have presumably cooperated with the investigation.

If it turns out we are innocent, then there is logic in there not being any need for further investigation, and then no non-cooperation. Whether the panel decide that is not the club's right to decide is another matter.

We've got weeks of it as well.
Think it might be better watching the lefties and righties arguing on the politics thread until the verdict comes in
All the twitter bellends and dickhead journo's will get bored and talk about something else when it dawns on them we're not getting 100 points taken off us in the next 4 days

Exactly. It’s what is politely called a Diplomatic incident. Reputation is everything to most of the Far East countries. They won’t take gravy stained Richard Masters and his inept cronies slurs lying down.
 
british journos cant wait to get some quotes from Tebas:)))

if you find copies of the Guardian, daily mail in the supermarkets in the frozen section under the frozen beans and cauliflower, it wasnt me.
Lol. It's like the "Manchester" Evening News - in terms of credibility, it's finished as far as City fans are concerned.

If "guilty" verdict had no evidence but happened because of shall we say suspect "probability" I am sure that the Sponsors and other Companies who are also accused may take actual legal action against the PL ie not bound by any no further Appeal process like City.
 
this quite possibly went political months back, we wouldnt know and most likely never will, what were seeing now could be playing out the motions and the result is/has been made months back, yes its a big expensive case but a drop in the ocean in the business world, put it like this i'd be very surprised if the UK Government are not involved to some extent
